Christmas.....Already????

So yesterday morning as we were getting ready Matthew reminds me that we only have 50 days until Christmas. WHAT? Where has the year gone? It seems like yesterday I was whining about not having a Christmas card design and it is already that time again. (Just in case you were wondering..UGH no I haven't started my cards yet) So I ordered 5 Christmas gits on-line. It's a start right? Elizabeth is the hard one for me. She wants everything she sees but she is not really drawn to anything. Right now she says that she wants this princess chair. Now I haven't seen this in person but it is $70.00 for a plastic chair... Santa is cringing. SO now Matthew and I have the dilemma of, do we buy the chair that we are almost certain is junk so that Elizabeth gets what she asks Santa for or do we spend the next few weeks trying to talk her into something else. It was much easier before I had to fill Santa's huge shoes. So that is where I am with Christmas Shopping right now.

Now the one thing that I would do tomorrow if I could is start decorating. Now of course that would require a clean house. Which I am certain that I won't see until my kids are in college but I still would love to put the tree up. I already have a list of new decorations that I want to make. Hopefully my creative brain comes out of hibernation this year.
